Glassware & Plasticware

Glass has been used in tools, jewelry and utensils since ancient times. Dishes, lamps, windowpanes, watches, windshields, and the list of things made of glass can go on. Recently it’s getting replaced in some spheres with plastic and polymer materials, however it’s still widely used across numerous application fields. Glass and plastic utilities are used in laboratories (mainly chemical and biological) as main instruments for tests and experimentations. MegaDepot offers a great selection of glassware & plasticware for laboratory use. You will find a huge variety of different utilities and devices - all for the best prices.

Glass and plastic instruments are widely utilized throughout chemical and biological spheres, often in combination with each other. Glass is useful in experimentations because it does not react with the prevalent majority of substances and elements, and it does not react to peak temperatures as much as other materials do. Unfortunately glass can be easily broken and is more expensive in production than for example plastic, that’s why the latter material is used when possible. Plastic does not crack and break if dropped, it’s much lighter and cheaper than glass, however there are temperature limitations to it, and it may interact with some chemicals in an undesired way.
